Book is a collection of true stories about of love, hope, despair, joy and sorrow
EUREKA, Ill., Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With over 25 years of experience, Karen Martin, BSN has selected an assembly of stories culled from the notes she took throughout her career as a hospice nurse. As a hospice nurse, Martin's patients always died, but many shared beautiful memories and life lessons with her.
In "Everyone Dies," Martin shares some of her experiences. Some are encouraging, some are happy, some are heartbreaking, but each one taught her, the patients and their families valuable lessons. Additionally, the book includes periodic poetry breaks to share how Martin felt as she went through each of these encounters.
"As I look back on every experience with my families," said Martin, "I have learned so much about life, living, and death. I have learned that caring for someone is a true honor, and being with them in the hard times brings a peace that nothing can surpass."
Besides being a longtime hospice nurse, Martin has delivered numerous presentations to nursing homes and the public about how to prepare for death. She is also involved in prison ministry and women's mentorship programs within her church.
"God has been with me all through my hospice journey," said Martin, "and I felt that these stories needed to be shared with the world so that the stigma of death is lessened, and the glory of God when we are dying is honored."
